Extremely helpful explanation with diagrams, showing of the mechanics of the anterior tibialis function in the foot and appropriate stretches, shoes, orthotics to help alleviate pain and improve function.

[@Hondroo]

This is literally the best video ive seen in explaining the condition and how to recover from it !

Thank you!!!! Left leg too short due to broken leg when 13.. now 54 very very active job .. no otc anti inflammatory for 20 years. Your advice diagnosed me so I am better.. but most likely pain is due to fibrosis of anterior tibialis.. foot Dr wants to do Arizona ankle brace.. I really appreciate you!!! Working on calves now

[@anthonyheying5350]

[@Pepper__Johnson]

I went to a podiatrist. Told me the problem. No real explanation. This video answered my questions, and was free. Thank you. I will try to help myself, as the pain on top and interior side of my foot

[@susanruby3239]

I watched this video yesterday and used a rubz ball (ball with spikes on it) and the Stick to massage my foot and calf. I did the massage last night and twice today. I also stretched my hammies, glutes and piriformis muscle this morning. I iced a couple of times and now I am feeling much better. I will try stretching my calf muscles tomorrow and will keep doing the massage with the Stick.

[@ArshSingh-pm4ky]

i play soccer 3-4 times a week and hurt my ankles last time. It has been a week since, and moments ofp sudden sharp pain on both feet but mostly right foot (anterior ankle). This video was the most helpful among the rest in the search. Please recommend something :(

[@getfitwithamberfoy]

Great thorough explanation. Thank you! Passed this along to a client who is experiencing such tightness. Information is priceless. So helpful.

[@allysonhomayounkhah2432]

Thanks! I know that you’re not a replacement to visit and have someone specifically look at me, but this is the first video where you focus specifically on this. I’ve had this problem on my right foot for a couple years now and I’ve recently started having it on my left. I’m getting to the point where hurts to 🎉 walk at all and I have two year-old. Not walking is not an option. Going to make sure I stretch better every single night, ice my ankles, get the shoes you recommend and possibly make an appointment.

[@nicoler4298]

I’ve been to PT for the past 3 years trying to find the cause of my hip pain…then inner knee pain and foot pain. The cause has been unknown. My R foot also turns out and the cause was unknown (I was told lack of hip internal rotation) your video finally described exactly what’s happening.

[@snoopsma1]

Exactly - everything is connected!

[@MrLsj1984]

Driving long periods of time has caused my front ankle pain

[@jimiboi87]

Uber?

[@MichaelGilboe]

I drive Uber and finally figured out bad foot positioning has caused this for me. It is improving as I work to maintain my knee and ankle at a 90 degree angle as my default position, and really focusing on keeping my foot/ankle/tibia/calf relaxed while I drive.

[@outdoorbill6271]

Saw a podiatrist two years ago when I first started having these issues. He seemed stumped. Just told me to rest. Thank you for all the details and great explanation!! Now I understand how this happened and what to do. Wish I lived closer to Michigan

Gosh I just love what a wonderful doctor you are! Not one podiatrist knew what this was when I presented to them when I first had this! I have this in my left foot. I did have a stress fracture of 4th metatarsal, but not one specialist MD ever had done more for me and none ever gave me self care like you do for me and people! I use Chondrosamine Plus from Biotics Research Corp and Hyaluronic acid for pain and nothing works better for healing and pain! Blessings dearest doctor! You’re the best on KZbin and in your field!

[@Mary-ph3jf]

Could you describe the type of pain one has with this diagnosis? Is it like a stabbing pain?

[@paulwalther5237]

This video is amazing. Looking at other KZbin videos you can just really tell you know more about the topic than most other KZbinrs. One yoga guy whose video is really popular is telling people a bone in their foot popped out and you just need to push it back in. Ridiculous. I have always had tight calves. I stretched by leaning against a wall while keeping the target foot flat on the ground. You probably know the stretch. It's ok but I just got that angled step board you showed at the end and oh my God that is so much nicer. No more foot sliding around trying to get a good angle and sometimes not even feeling the stretch. That thing burns! (in a good way). I'm using it constantly and hoping that alone will fix a lot of things for me but I'll try the other tips you give too. Thanks so much for the video.

I have achilles tendinopathy and I also experience this anterior tibial pain

[@victoriajezik6096]

I got it after wearing new Hoka Bondi 8 shoes for 2 months at work where I walk on my feet all day. I have very high arches, and was told that particular shoe is not for people with high arches. I think those shoes caused the anterior tibial tendinitis because they didn’t have arch support for my high arches

[@ShervinShares]

Are barefoot shoes an extremely bad idea? In this specific case? And in other general scenarios?

[@DrTomBiernacki]

Not a bad idea, it does come down to your biomechanics: Barefoot shoes promote shorter but more frequent steps, shoes promote longer and less frequent steps. This can effect people's muscles & joints differently.

[@ShervinShares]

@@DrTomBiernacki hmm interesting, i think i'm suffering from Tibialis Anterior Tendonitis from running - trying to see if I should wear regular shoes to help speed up recovery or if barefoot shoes are fine

[@starwarscrazy4540]

Man I have tendonitis in my shin and its extremely painful took ibuprophin helped with the inflammation but not the pain. I ended up getting a medical walking tall air boot as last resort to stabilize foot shin. Wow it did a great job even the pain was relieved to bearable to no pain at all. No thanks to doctor for help. I bought boot for 91.00 from medical supply store and what a game changer I was skeptical best 91 dollars spent recommend getting one if you are on your feet 8+ hours a day on concrete floors. Because tendonitis will come knocking its no fun.

[@allwillberevealed777]

5:22 I actually had this issue before. I don't know exactly how it happened but I believe it was from constantly getting off a vehicle to make my deliveries. Exiting from the driver's side and constantly putting pressure on the foot and sometimes even aggressively exiting the vehicle plenty a times. When I would plant my left foot down in a normal walk, I noticed my left foot would always slap the ground a bit harder. Anterior Tibialis exercises seems to have corrected the issue. Note, I was also getting discomfort, not pain, on the Tibialis anterior. Flatter shoes also seemed to help me as sell, don't know if it will help you. 😅 🤗😎👍 Edit: Don't forget your stretching. Hamstring stretches helped me.

Can't read the topics and descriptions behind your head. Please figure out how to show the info behind your head. Also, the one thing your graphics showed was an image of a broken or injured Lisfranc ligament that you showed but never talked about. That is where my injury is. Got the injury from playing tennis in not proper tennis shoes that had very flexible soles, I felt the break when it happened. Has not healed. Is surgery the only way to fix the break or can it heal with time?
